Option A, use your data in that text file and import as points,
then use the Feature Line command to Draw Lines by point number using the Transparent command 'PN. Then one can select that feature line Rt-Click and Add it to the surface as a Break Line.

Or

Option B, convert this file into a script to write the feature line for you using the DRAWFEATURELINE command and then use your data to fill in the prompts.

Or

Option C, convert your file into a(n) FBK using the survey link, and then import that 'figure' and then add that figure as a breakline to your surface model

And lastly, send an email to autodesk, and tell them how much you need that function back in the surfaces tools where it belongs.

...a script by any other name would be just as Scripted.


I think I would choose to create the feature lines directly as stated and save a click or two along the way.
